Genetic Variant POMK:p.Asn235Ile (chr8-43122528-AC-TT) – ACMG Classification: Uncertain_significance (2 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is The variant received 2 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_Moderate

The NM_032237.5(POMK):c.704_705delACinsTT (p.Asn235Ile) variant causes a missense change. Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 8.78). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.N235S: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 474196)

Genes affected

POMK (HGNC:26267): (protein O-mannose kinase) This gene encodes a protein that may be involved in the presentation of the laminin-binding O-linked carbohydrate chain of alpha-dystroglycan (a-DG), which forms transmembrane linkages between the extracellular matrix and the exoskeleton. Some pathogens use this O-linked carbohydrate unit for host entry. Loss of function compound heterozygous mutations in this gene were found in a human patient affected by the Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) phenotype. Mice lacking this gene contain misplaced neurons (heterotopia) in some regions of the brain, possibly from defects in neuronal migration. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
